Subject: Well, I am kind of excited here....m

I have a respite worker that takes care of Sam for 2 hrs each Monday and Friday mornings from 9-11am. Last night at Home Enrichment, we heard from a variety of community groups that require volunteer help - so, I will now be working at the Helping Hands Soup Kitchen those 2 mornings every week.

I will be the Co-Ordinator's secretary - takes her all day to type a letter, and I can type as fast as people can talk. So, it is a good thing - plus, it'll get me doing something other than shopping (which I don't particularly like doing twice a wk) and it will get me doing more service other than for just my own family.

So, I am really excited about it all!

[> Joanne, you are amazing! you get 2 hrs of respite care for yourself and then you choose to volunteer! -- lynece, 09:19:31 09/25/03 Thu

That's super! I know with my 3 hours alone I usually end up playing on the puter LOL However, I am getting back to a regular schedule at Curves, which makes me a happier and hopefully a skinnier person to be around :-)

I'm happy for you. Your enthusiasam shows in your worda and it does sound like they could really use you!
